released, their involvement remains unknown. >> we're not going to answer any questions at this point. >> reporter: but the 23-year-old nowak has minor drug charges in her past listed this on her facebook page. i'm sorry for your loss. i'm sorry your friend is missing. it's a terrible thing. i am so sorry but i can do nothing further. >> he's not proven guilty. that's all i can tell you. >> reporter: more strange behavior from a couple they bought a used car and abandoned the one they were driving, saying they only had to leave town because of an emergency. another tantalizing clue in a case with so many open questions. the mystery now involves yet another maine woman. she told a local tv station perdomo was staying with her the night he went out and never returned. so many unanswered questions. let's get back over to ginger for a look at the
